1959 Jaguar XK150s - Needs Simple Paint Correction

Here's my friend Damian's classic, museum quality 1959 Jaguar XK150s

This car is located around 20 minute drive from Gatwick Airport in West Sussex.


From the look of the swirls, scratches and other paint defects in the paint - I'm thinking 3D SPEED with a foam polishing pad on any simple free spinning 8mm random orbital polisher would fix and perfect.

Then top with something like 3D POXY.

Yep! Random orbital all the way.

Since I acquired my Rupes Mille I have found that my MT300 finishes out better on black than the gear-driven Mille.

I'm sure the finishing quality is the same on any color in an absolute sense, but visually you just can't see the difference on other colors. Black is unique.

Great subject to work on!

Supposedly has been repainted but this was years ago and the repaint was an old school lacquer.

I contacted my good friend Kelly Harris and he said he would be happy to take on this project as it's close to his shop in England.

Here's Kelly and I on stage at the 2016 WaxStock in Coventry, England. Super cool dude and the best of the best when it comes to the craft of detailing and the art of polishing paint.
